Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Plant a very small new woodland of 1.09 hectare Compartment 1 is 0.3 hectares and will be planted with a native broadleaf mix of 45% birch and used as a shelterbelt Compartment 2., is 0.79 hectares and again will be planted with a native mix, with a higher proportion of species such as alder and aspen due to the slightly wetter ground
